    Secondary hormonal manipulations in the management of advanced prostate cancer

    Uzair B. Chaudhary1, Mohammad H. Rashid1, Adedayo A. Onitilo2, Nabil K. Bissada3
    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.12, No.3, pp. 2666-2676, 2005
    Abstract Prostate cancer is a heterogeneous disease and clinical outcomes vary considerably after failure of primary androgen ablation. With the development of new therapeutics the management of patients with androgen independent prostate cancer has changed considerably over the last few years. Multiple secondary hormonal manipulations are available and may lead to prolonged periods of clinical response. These maneuvers include the use of oral antiandrogens, antiandrogen withdrawal, ketoconazole, aminoglutethimide, corticosteroids and use of estrogenic compounds. This article reviews the clinical activity of these agents in management of patients with advanced prostate cancer. More >

    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.12, No.3, pp. 2677-2683, 2005
    Abstract Objective: To develop the first Canadian guidelines for the management of lower urinary tract symptoms in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
    Methods: These guidelines, developed under a mandate provided by the Canadian Urological Association (CUA), were a collaborative effort between the CUA guidelines committee and the Canadian Prostate Health Council. BPH guidelines developed by the American Urological Association, the European Association of Urology, the World Health Organization International Consultation on BPH, and similar committees from Germany, Sweden and Australia were reviewed. The committee further reviewed a systematic literature search, updated to May 2004, and systematically derived… More >

    Penetration and maintenance of erection with vardenafil: a time-from-dosing analysis

    Luc Valiquette1, Francesco Montorsi2, Wayne J. G. Hellstrom3, Francois Giuliano4, Martin Homering5, Terry Taylor6, Ian Eardley7
    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.12, No.3, pp. 2687-2698, 2005
    Abstract Objective: To assess success rates in ability to penetrate (Sexual Encounter Profile question 2 [SEP2]) and maintain erections to completion of intercourse (SEP3) from time of dosing to start of sexual activity in a retrospective analysis of two pivotal trials.
    Methods: In two randomized, double-blind studies, men with ED for >6 months received vardenafil 5 mg, 10 mg, or 20 mg or placebo for 12-26 weeks. Patients were instructed to start sexual activity 1 hour after dosing. In this retrospective pooled analysis, patient diary questions through week 12 were analyzed, providing attempt data was recorded 0-12 hours… More >

    Web-based electronic health information systems for prostate cancer patients

    Howard H. Pai1,2, Francis Lau2
    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.12, No.3, pp. 2700-2709, 2005
    Abstract Introduction: Providing men with prostate cancer (MPC) timely access to their health records and information (HRI) can enhance their ability to understand their condition and engage in shared medical decision making with their health care provider (HCP). The Internet is a potential means of enhancing such interactions.
    Materials and methods: Two surveys were conducted at a PC support group in Victoria, BC to identify the health information needs of MPC and the ability to access their HRI. Another objective was to identify the potential role of web-enabled HRI systems at meeting these needs. Sixty-one participants (41 men… More >

    CASE REPORT

    Renal splenosis presenting as a renal mass

    Neil T. Dwyer, Thomas F. Whelan
    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.12, No.3, pp. 2710-2712, 2005
    Abstract Splenosis should be considered in the differential of any patient with a history of splenic trauma or removal and a solid enhancing mass near or within the kidney. Splenosis is the autotransplantation of splenic tissue associated with splenic trauma or surgery, and can be diagnosed properatively, avoiding unnecessary surgery. More >

    Preoperative evaluation of laparoscopic living renal donors with computerized tomography and its effect on donor morbidity and graft function

    A. H. Feifer, B. C. Fong, L. Feldman, G. Fried, L. A. Stein, P. Metrakos, S. Bergman, M. Anidjar
    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.12, No.3, pp. 2713-2721, 2005
    Abstract Objective: To assess the efficacy of CT angiography (CTA) in evaluating the renovascular anatomy in 50 patients who underwent laparoscopic donor nephrectomy, and to correlate results with donor morbidity and recipient outcome.
    Methods: Forty-eight patients were evaluated by CTA prior to laparoscopy. Donors with aberrant renovasculature and their respective recipients were divided into: 1) accurate preoperative CTA ("predictive group", PG), 2) inaccurate CTA ("non-predictive group", NPG). Warm ischemia times (WIT), estimated blood loss (EBL), operative time (OT), and the open conversion rate were compared. Recipient creatinine values on post-operative day 1 and 3 months were recorded with… More >

    Eccrine porocarcinoma of the scrotum

    Jason Evans, Milton W. Datta, Mary Goolsby, Peter Langenstroer
    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.12, No.3, pp. 2722-2723, 2005
    Abstract Eccrine porocarcinoma, an uncommon carcinoma of the sweat glands, rarely arises from the male genitalia. In past reports this presentation has been associated with Paget’s disease. This is the first known report of eccrine porocarcinoma of the scrotum unassociated with Paget’s disease. More >
